STEVE’S NOTES
SHARE WITH: American whiskey followers who’re inquisitive about Texas whiskey. To the numerous who swear off Lone Star State whiskies … that is a defective place. Some nice ones come from Texas. Nevertheless, these which can be nice have their signature flavors and aromas. This one is nice sufficient, however nothing says, “Hey, drink this bourbon from Texas. It is actually distinctive!”
WORTH THE PRICE: Not likely. I do know craft distilleries want slightly extra value per bottle, however $47 is greater than I wish to pay for a 4-year-old bottle that, whereas respectable, lacks any discernible home model, or Texas model, for that matter. Bottled-in-bond choices comparable to J.W. Dant or Evan Williams, are much better choices for roughly half the value.
BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: Bust. I do not wish to sound overly unfavourable a couple of whiskey that is mainly good, however as a Texas whiskey, I hoped to style or nostril one thing that will bear the stamp of Texas and assert itself as distinctive. This tastes like too many different 90-proof American whiskies available on the market: extraordinary and even cautious. This tastes as if it was made to threat offending nobody. It is inoffensive in each means attainable, however that additionally renders it fairly plain.
OVERALL: The nostril is gentle, slightly spicy, honeyed and dosed with a little bit of pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, it is gentle and clear and reveals well-managed grain stability. It bears considerable oak, spice and a whiff of smoke, however the end is gentle and short-lived, leaving no lingering recollections or convincing “Return hither” invites. It begins and finishes means too rapidly to be a compelling pour.
